Yeah, it's not really worth it anymore to rent from Blockbuster IMO. Case in point, when I last checked their new Blu-ray rentals were, on average, over $5. Well, Amazon has regular sales for Blu-ray movies as cheap as $7-10. Why would I rent something I can own for only a little bit more? I'd rather collect, and resell if need be, than deal with renting anymore.

Don't get me wrong, If you get it for a full 5 days its not all that bad to shell out 5 bucks (local guy wanted $4 for 1 night new rentals)

One feature I DO like about renting from Blockbuster is the Keep it feature.  I got some older harder to find anime for fairly cheap. (My Neighbor Totoro, Jungle Emperor Leon, Batteries not included, and a few more all under 9 bucks each)

 That and the pre-played/viewed stock is what has me returning to blockbuster.
